    With the above - happy with the changes overall, although I reckon Lockhart is a little stiff.  Thought he had been pretty good.

    I like the Brown inclusion as is smart enough to just play his role, and can do so up the ground away from Weideman.

    Bit mystified by the Josh Wagner inclusion, and same with Oscar, although Oscar coming in might mean we push Tomlinson back to a wing.

    Rivers has speed.

    Looks like we went with some experience, though.  Jones, Gawn and Brown bring plenty to the table in that regard.

    On the face of it...

    I don’t like it.

    Lockhart dropped?! Horrendously harsh IMO, the more so given he was surely a good match up for Butler.

    Aside from Rivers.... so much for the "bringing in some pace/speed" call.

    Lost two players with a bit of toe for one.

    Saints will be licking their chops here and while we are always a chance, they 'should' win this one with relative ease me thinks.

    No idea what Lockhart did wrong to be dropped. Agree that we need an extra tall down back given Saints are quite top heavy up forward. Brown can’t do worse than Tmac and Harmes, well maybe if they played him in a correct position he may perform. 
    Overall a big meh and god help us if we get smashed, as I suspect we will.

    Don’t really care much for the game, until Goodwin goes we’re going nowhere quick. Just looking forward to seeing Browntown kicking a back.

    Saints will belt us using the same method as every other time.

    Speed, non stop running and 100% defensive effort.

    Reckon this is a 40+ point loss coming up, and the heat will be right back on the coach.

    Old binman saying:

    When you need a win, bring omac in

    Might be his last chance, bin.  

    Saints play a tall forward line - they have named Battle, King, Membrey and Marshall there, with Ryder in the ruck, so I can understand his selection and our need for a little more height down there.

    But with him OOC at the end of the year, he might get a few games here to show us why he deserves another contract.

    I have it on good authority that Tmac and Harmes have been put on JobKeeper

    With the season and possibly Goody’s career on the line, this is a mind boggling selection.

    That is the most utterly disgusting team we have picked all year. The ins include slow wet wags, I like the way they drop Lockhart and don't bring in someone to play on Butler. What is going to be. Tomlinson ?????? St Kilda would be wetting themselves looking at that side.

    Happy with the changes.   
    O Mac to the resting ruckman 

    May to King

    Wagner deserves his chance by the sounds of things and surely can’t do any worse than what Harmes has been dishing up.  I’d also rather Rivers over Lockhart

    O.Mac, Spargo and J.Wagner in that already 3 passengers. Worst side we have put in all year.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
